Cops are out of control in this country. They are looking for targets to take out their rage on.

Minorities first and foremost. Black males of any age from pre teens to seniors first as has been proven time and again lately.

But as this shows, if one group of people in this country have their dignity and rights taken away by a fascist police force, ALL OF US will lose those things in the end too!
